"A-Force" was taken.

Why so much blame for Hawkeye when the blame should be on Bendis for writing a terrible story and having everyone totally out of character? Although, I suppose he's just keeping up that tradition...

I'm sorry but I still just can't get behind Cyborg as a founding member of the JL...joining, sure...but founding? No character should ever be retconned as a founding member of a team that predates...

If it only happened from time to time, I'd be fine with it...but it's happening left and right...Pepper Potts, Flash Thompson, N52 Lois Lane, Gordon, Betty and Thunderbolt Ross, Jane Foster, Amadeus...

Seconded...I don't like the trend to make every good civilian character into a superhero...hell, they even had Commissioner Gordon become Batman...it is totally unnecessary.

That said, I might...

As sick of reboots in comics as I am (and I especially hated Flashpoint and the New 52 which this mirrors), I kind of hope they take this opportunity to change things up on all the shows (not just...

The bracelets were inspired by Olive's but exactly how much else came from her is debatable.

We could write an entire book about the unusual people, relationships, and background that went into...

My point was the "Superboy punch" was undefined...while a few changes were explained (like WW now being a founding JLA member again), most they did not bother to explain at all...they basically just...

I don't think they needed to keep the WWII origin...just saying making Diana more contemporary with the other Silver Agers could have avoided some problems (not just with Diana herself but also with...

Agreed...pretty much across the board (except for the feminist credentials since I'm not really qualified for those).

I do have a fondness for Byrne's run in that he tried to work back in some of...

What? No love for the Phil Jimenez run?

Personally, I think the majority of the WW series beginning with the Perez run and ending with Rucka's was fantastic (with a few exceptions)...that, to me,...

EVERYONE is getting replaced...don't pretend it only happens to female characters...Peter Parker is Marvel's most popular character...OF COURSE he didn't stay gone long (never mind that his return...

Of these 5, She Hulk does seem like the most likely...plus, she's one of the few significant characters that hasn't already died (that I can recall)...it's her turn...it's not like she won't be back...

Hawkeye, Wasp, and Vision all seem unlikely to me since Bendis himself has already "killed" all 3 of them in events...Hawkeye (who he caught all kinds of grief over) and Vision (who only returned...

Since when is ANY character death in an event still considered shocking???

Oh, it's definitely true that Bendis gets to do pretty much whatever he wants to any character he wants...just ask Iceman.

And I guess you missed my point about how many of them are being changed so much that they might as well be new...just because a long-term character is getting a solo and never has before doesn't...

That's a bit presumptuous, there...I actually do have an interest in racial issues but that doesn't mean that have to fall in love with any book that tackles the subject.

That said, I know I'm not...

Always a possibility but I just don't see it working in her favor...again, I could always be proven wrong down the line.



I guess you and I have very different views on that then...while I do...

Of course my comments about what "works" are subjective but they are informed by my knowledge as a long term reader and observer of Marvel's practices. I can always be proven wrong (it's been known...

They have attempted to do vertigo style books over the years...they had the MAX imprint but, aside from a couple of exceptions (like Alias), it was a failure...I would also argue some of Warren...

Oh, I absolutely agree she needs to get away from Peter...putting them back in the same book on a regular basis was a bad idea...I'm all for the character getting greater spotlight but, as I said, a...

The Angela mini came out at a very different time when sales on comics were generally much higher...if it were a huge success, they would have followed up on that...I'm not saying it was a flop but...

Angela's series from the 90s was only a 3 issue mini and a couple of crossover one shots...if it were extremely popular, I don't think they would have waited over a decade to try again.

As to...

I'm not saying there's not storytelling potential for a Magik series...I'm just not sure about her being on her own doing all the things you mention...part of the fun with her is seeing her...
